Тип записи:Публикация, A Comparative Study of Kazakh and English Cosmonyms: Linguistic, Cultural, and Epistemological Insights(2025-10-15); ; ; ; S. YessimkulovaThis article presents a comparative analysis of cosmonyms in the Kazakh and English languages, focusing on the linguistic, cultural, and cosmological frameworks that inform the naming of celestial bodies. Drawing from a wide range of linguistic and cultural sources, the study illustrates how celestial terms—such as the Crowning Stars—encode distinct cosmological worldviews, spiritual beliefs, and historical contexts. The analysis is structured around the formation processes of cosmonyms: in Kazakh, where compounding is a dominant mechanism, and in English, where naming practices are shaped by Latin and Greek etymology, scientific rationalism, and mythological heritage. While English celestial nomenclature has largely become standardized internationally, Kazakh cosmonyms reflect a dynamic interplay of traditional knowledge, Soviet linguistic influence, and contemporary efforts to revive and preserve cultural identity. The findings demonstrate both the universality of humanity's fascination with the cosmos and the uniqueness of local traditions in articulating that fascination. By examining the convergence of scientific and cultural perspectives, the study emphasizes how cosmonyms serve as bridges between rational knowledge and symbolic imagination. Through this comparison, the article highlights the critical importance of recognizing cultural diversity in celestial naming practices and advocates for inclusive, multilingual approaches to space exploration. This research contributes to the fields of linguistic anthropology and cosmology, offering deeper insights into how language and culture mediate humanity's conceptualization of space. It also lays a foundation for further interdisciplinary exploration at the intersection of language, mythology, and science.Цитирования (OpenAlex) 1 - Некоторые метрики заблокированы вашиминастройками согласия
Тип записи:Публикация, Symbolism of the Sacred Dog: A Mytholinguistic Approach in Kazakh and English(2024-12-18); ; Nurgul NygmetovaThe image of a dog holds a special place in the culture and mythology of many peoples. This study examines how the dog became a sacred symbol associated with the afterworld, ancestral land, and subterranean realms. Using mythological texts, archaeological data, and linguistic analysis, the research identifies unique cultural and universal patterns in stable expressions about dogs in Kazakh and English. The study employs S. Qondybay's mytholinguistic method and comparative analysis to uncover the sacred and symbolic meanings of these expressions. The findings reveal that the dog is often seen as a guardian of the afterlife and a protector of human souls. The research highlights how specific cultural and linguistic features—unique to certain ethnic groups—are preserved in language. It also demonstrates the continuity of ancient mythological beliefs in modern expressions and rituals. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the connection between language, culture, and mythology, offering new perspectives for mytholinguistic and cultural research.
